These are the chords and timings to the newly (3rd Jan 2012) released single version of "I Won't Give Up"
This is just a quick notation of the chords and their place in the song. The bridge "I don't wanna be someone.." sounds right to me but is the only part I'm not sure about.
Capo 2
(Check out the other tabs for the intro/first verse riff or just play G and D)
[Verse 1] GD When I look into your eyes GD It's like watching the night sky GD Or a beautiful sun...rise (Bm) A Well there's so much they hold GD And just like them old stars GD I see that you've come so far GD To be right where you are BmA How old is your soul?
[Chorus] GD I won't give up.. on.. us... BmA Even if the skies.. get.. rough GD I'm giving you all.. my.. love A I'm still looking up
[Verse 2] GD And when you're needing your space GD To do some navigaaaating GD I'll be here patiently waiting BmA To see what you find
[Chorus] GD 'Cause even the stars they burn BmA Some even fall to the earth GD We got a lot to learn A God knows we're worth it G No, I won't give up
[Bridge] Em I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily Asus2 I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make Em Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use Asus2 The tools, the skills we've got yeah we got a lot at stake C And in the end, you're still my friend at least we didn't tend C#dim For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in CC#dim I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not D And who I am
[Chorus] GD I won't give up on us BmA Even if the skies get rough GD I'm giving you all my love A I'm still looking up (Still looking up)
GD I won't give up on us BmA God knows I'm tough e...nough GD We got a lot... to... learn A God knows we're worth it.
GD I won't give up on us BmA Even if the skies get rough GD I'm giving you all my love A I'm still looking up
